Country to what a lot of people will tell you there are only some policy adversary guide line for deactivation. Wolverine is approved to deactivate firearms, it is a clause added to our Firearms Business Licence. We do the work in house send the prescribed form to the RCMP and wait for their letter of approval, a copy of which we keep and a copy goes with the firearm. Approval can take from 2 days to 8 weeks, it is normally about 2 to 4 weeks.
As firearm actions and construction varies then so does our deactivation. Typically for a FAL the barrel will be pinned and welded to the receiver. The bolt face cut off at 45 degrees. The sear and hammer removed and the pins welded in place. The upper receiver is welded to the lower. We make welds as discreet as possible. in this case the action can be cycled the bolt catch and mag catch will still operate. The trigger and safety will move but not do anything. Mag will be removable.
